The T.I.S. (Tangential Integrated System), is an original concept, innovative and patented. This is a fully integrated module, containing within it, housing stainless steel, filtration membranes, recirculation loop, circulation pump, and base supply / return retentate / permeate.
This concept combined with hollow fiber ceramic membranes has so many advantages over conventional filtration equipment for the same developed area:
The combination of ceramic hollow fiber membranes, and the concept TIS, can now enjoy the benefits previously reserved for organic membranes (small footprint, low energy), taking advantage of those related to the nature of ceramic membranes (mechanical strength, chemical inertness and thermal durability, reliability industrial,…). The Concept TIS also offers the following advantages:
 |  |
| Traditional Loop | T.I.S System |
| Pump circulaltion: if something goes wrong on the pump, the system is off | Pump by T. IS: if something goes wrong, the installation is not off. |
| Isolation and maintenance of the modules not in production | Each module can be individually isolated |
| Bulky | Very small footprint |
| High installed power | Low energy consumption |
| Capacity expansion can not | Low consumption of water and cleaning agents, given the low dead volume |
| Large dead volume associated with the circulation loop | Expandable capacity |
| High consumption of water and cleaning agents | Very low dead volume : production of concentrate reduced yield important |
Depending on the application, several ranges of turnkey systems are designed around the concept of SIT, especially for:
